I found laminating sheets at Walmart, but I thought they were a little thin
for Braille but they will work. You might also look at Independent Living
Aids for the Braille-on sheets.  I think they're more expensive, but the
might be worth the extra cost in the long run.

Subject: looking for good plastic laminate sheets for Braille labeling

Hi, all.

Does anyone know where one can get good plastic laminate sheets for making 
Braille labels with a Perkins Brailler?

My immediate use for the sheets will be to update my QSL card collection.

I put my QSL's in plastic sleeves, which are then filed in loose-leaf 
notebook binders to keep things organized.  I like to label each sleeve with

the call and location of the station that has confirmed the QSO.

I could use dymo tape for this purpose, but larger laminate sheets which I 
could put in a Brailler are much more economical in the long run.

I found some laminate sheets at Staples, but they are too thin, they often 
get wrinkled when putting them into the Brailler.  Also, the Braille on the 
labels does not hold up well.

Any specific recommendations would be appreciated.
